In Freudian psychology, the ego serves as mediator between the libidinous Id and the Ideal Ego (Superego). French design firm EgoParis is arguably a physical manifestation of the ego, with a balance between sensuous design cues and sensible, long-lasting materials. Above: the Tandem Sunlounger and Daybed are composed of beautiful, fluid lines and made from equally beautiful materials. Rot-proof and UV treated cane work for the seats lies flush with high quality teak, both of which are suspended in a minimalist aluminum frame.

In addition to lounge chairs, the Tandem Collection provides functional armchairs that come in left, right and middle variants for multiple grouping configurations. Corner tables and ottomans finish the collection and are stylish enough to be used both inside and outside.

The Premiere Sunlounger and Chaise Longue (nicknamed “Fish”) are seductively curved chairs made from aluminum and cane work. I particularly love the way the teak armrests on the Sunlounger integrate perfectly into the aluminum frame.

Both the Multiposition and Low armchairs feature inclined seats; coupled with strategically curved lines, the chairs seem to possess a graceful, motive energy. The Multiposition in particular resembles the elegant brush strokes of an accomplished cartoonist, with each of the four positions akin to a frame from a flipbook.

EgoParis also provides a downloadable program that you can use to custom design their furniture; choose from their entire lineup and swap out colors on the fly. Even more useful: a variety of backgrounds are available so you can visualize and situate your furniture in the setting of your choice. For those of us whose financial constraints dictate otherwise, this allows us to manifest our “Ego”, albeit digitally.
